Plastics in Medical Devices conference comes to the U.S.
APRIL 12 WORKSHOPS:
The event will kick off on Monday, April 12, with a pair of concurrent afternoon workshops:
• "Intro to Plastics Processing for the Medical Market" will help companies understand the critical processing, quality and regulatory compliance requirements associated with serving the medical market. If you are keen to launch or expand a strategy to supply the health-care sector, this session will provide you with the basic fundamentals you need. • "Polymer Considerations in Medical Device Design" will help guide engineers and product developers through the material choice process, with an emphasis on failure analysis as it relates to injection molded components. APRIL 13-14 CONFERENCE:
The two-day conference begins April 13, and will feature a full slate
of processing, design, materials and regulatory experts from up and down the health-care supply chain. Organizations already committed to participating
include the Cleveland Clinic, Johnson & Johnson, Battelle, NAMSA, Mack Molding, Atek Plastics, PMC,
Frantz Medical, Parker Hannifin and Ximedica, as well as European representatives from AstraZeneca,, GlaxoSmithKline and
Univac,. Monitor the Agenda section online for updated information about the program.
NEW LOCATIONAfter staging three successful Plastics in Medical Devices conferences in Brussels, Belgium, since 2006, European Plastics News is joining forces with Plastics News to bring the event for the first time to the United States next spring. This Plastics News Global Group event will take place in Cleveland, Ohio — a hotbed of biomedical research, development and investment, and home to such institutions as the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University.CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
The event will provide a unique forum for leading pharmaceutical companies and device designers to lay out their requirements for plastics in the medical
sector. A highly focused, plastics-oriented conference, it will bring members of the entire medical-devices supply chain together under the same roof for
two days of information sharing and networking.
REASONS TO ATTENDPlastics are critical to the modern pharmaceuticals producer, with drug dosage and delivery becoming ever more dependent on innovative plastics design and manufacturing. End-users are searching for the latest technologies at the most competitive prices without compromising on product safety.Additionally, as a lot of health-care treatments shift from the hospital to the home, the need for well-designed, user-friendly dispensing and diagnostic devices has never been higher. Previously simple devices increasingly now incorporate electronic, mechanical and even computerized components. Plastics can serve as an enabling technology, while good design plays just as vital a role. This conference is the place to meet supply-chain partners, to gain the latest insights into what the medical device market needs and to source information on the newest materials, innovative applications, design ideas and regulatory developments.
